I WAS totally open to the idea until I got slapped with a $50 fee from my ISP. I guess one of my neighbors decided to run a huge P2P network via my open WiFi network and racked up a 20 GB upload and 50 GB download on my account.

After much back and forth with my ISP they said that it was ultimately my own fault. They are only a “utility” company providing a basic service and like the water or electric company they can’t be help liable if someone “steals” a connection. Ever since then I’ve kept a secure WiFi, sad but true. Perhaps we need a service like Spanish “fon” here in North America to really make this work. http://www.fon.com/en/

Thank you Ian for taking a stance against unreasonable DRM that interferes with a smooth user experience. It’s good to hear that someone at Yahoo is concerned about what the customer thinks and strives for a more open approach to experiencing music
